Abstract	The measurement integrity of M. A. Rahim's Organizational Conflict Inventory (ROCI-II) and D. M. Roussel's Managerial Frames of Mind Survey (MFMS) was investigated, as was the relationship between scores on the two measures. Subjects were 369 managers from three types of organizations: (1) higher education; (2) not-for-profit public sector organizations; and (3) a for-profit corporation. Analyses conducted included classical reliability analyses, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and a multivariate analysis of relationships between the two measures. Results focusing on the measurement integrity of the ROCI-II are generally supportive of the measure, suggesting that it evaluates five dimensions, as postulated. Confirmatory factor analysis suggested that the scales were not orthogonal constructs. Results focusing on the measurement integrity of the MFMS are less favorable. Exploratory factor analyses supported the measure, but confirmatory analyses did not result in a reasonable fit of the model to the data. Results suggest the need for additional item refinement and construct elaboration. The canonical analysis identified some manager archetypes for further exploration. Six tables and two graphs present study data. (Author/SLD)
